Thanks to the beautiful, durable new headphones, students can finally work in a focused, distraction-free environment during iReady. Being able to listen at a clear, full volume has made a remarkable difference—students are passing lessons more easily, staying engaged for longer periods of time, and feeling proud of their progress. The headphones have quickly become a tool they rely on, and the confidence they've gained from their success is evident in the way they approach their work each day.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in our classroom grew even more when students learned that we would be receiving real tadpoles to observe. Many could hardly believe that we would have actual frogs living and growing right in our room! When the terrarium arrived, the children cheered with genuine joy. Their enthusiasm has created a wonderful sense of curiosity and anticipation as we head into our life cycles unit. This project has not only supported their academic growth but has also sparked a deep sense of wonder—something that will stay with them far beyond this year.","fullyFundedDate":1762735785960,"projectUrl":"project/growing-curious-minds-hands-on-science/9806832/","projectTitle":"Growing Curious Minds: Hands-On Science, Representation, and Real-World Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Wilcox-Vella","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1524476_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750283175012","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mswilcox"},{"teacherId":388290,"projectId":9193132,"letterContent":"I wish to thank you again for the cleaning supplies that you provided for my class.

Due to this, my class and I have been extra vigilant with not only daily cleaning but also by conducting weekly deep cleaning of our space.

Additionally, the students loved the slime and bending snake prizes, which motivated them to work hard to meet their time goals and weekly lesson targets with their I-Ready individualized learning paths.\r\n\r\nYour support has made a tremendous difference in our classroom, and we are truly grateful.

When my students first saw it, they were genuinely pleased to have a comfortable gathering space. \r\n\r\nThey've been enjoying our morning meetings and reading time on the rug, where they can sit comfortably together rather than on the hard classroom floor. During our literature discussions, students can now easily turn to partners for conversations, which has made our class discussions more productive and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe rug has become a valuable addition to our classroom environment. It provides a defined space that helps students focus during group activities while creating a comfortable area for collaboration. \r\n\r\nOur upcoming plans include using the rug as a workspace for small group projects, where students can spread out materials and work together more effectively.
